Hello huge numbers of people in india are defying a police ban on public gatherings to demonstrate against a controversial citizenship law or rallies are being held in new delhi and elsewhere against the law that opponents see as anti muslim so violence has erupted in several cities in which are Pradesh States and look now officers were seen hitting people with sticks after a Police Station was. Damaged and a curfew remains in place in the southern coastal city off the lure of bats where at least 2 protesters were shot and killed during confrontations with police on thursday and in new delhi thousands have gathered outside the jumma one of the countrys largest mosques theyve also gathered outside a university which saw violent clashes at the weekend students there are calling for the new law to be scrapped lets get an update from sabinas for us though shes joining us from new delhi so as weve been saying weve been seeing some of the largest protests in multiple locations where you are in new delhi tell us more about those. So we just came back from the from the University Location where the crowd was absolutely massive we started from sitting in a corner of the road hoping that we would be able to realize from there but the crowd just swelled on after the friday prayers and it filled up the streets it was tens of thousands of people and from both not only there but also in the jumma mustards similar numbers of people could be seen so the protesters have really come in the streets defying all of the government bans and really not not willing to back down at all. And what about the governments response so far sabina. So the government has been quite brutal like today. People were brutally beaten up the has been internet shut downs in areas so people have really had difficult times reaching out to the rest of the world as to what is happening so when we went to be found out a lot of the people really wanted to talk to us because they had been cut off from the internet for so many days now in assam the internet just opened in areas in india there are there are curfews in certain parts of indias now even where we were like there was an internet jam now what is also interesting to see is like some of the most violent protests that happen have been in b. G. P. Led government the government led areas. In other areas like in delhi the process has been largely peaceful. All right well leave it there thank you for that update from new delhi. So the man picked to become lebanons next Prime Minister says hell work to form a new government within 6 weeks has also promised to build a team of technocrats or experts in specific fields like economists and to government protesters though some of them at least arent convinced hes capable of lifting the country out of crisis insists he deserves a chance lets bring in tony burley joining us from beirut so whats the feeling among some of the protesters that remain on the streets are they willing to give a chance. Well i mean in areas pretty already so the these people are very much supporters of. The outgoing Prime Minister and theyre very much against the nomination. They want their former leader mr hariri to be the nomination but it is strange in the world of complicated world of lebanese politics that the large city block did not make a nomination that nomination for mr came from the shiite lot with the his ball and arm all of the complicated world of politics the structure of the constitution here is that the. President has to be a man like christian the Prime Minister has to be a citizen and the speaker of parliament has to be a shiite muslim so theres not a complicated but i have to say this this is just a small section a small crosssection of whats happening in beirut its mainly the sunday population here that have come out and are protesting they dont seem to be a big demand to take that forward to get them out of this economic crisis they think mr hariri is even though both men are from the socalled old order now the Civil Societies have been protesting for the best part of 2 months want a complete overhaul of the political system here they want the techno politicians to be out they want the techno crutch to be in and they want a whole new look at the way politics is done here they believe that the economics of the past 30 years has to be done away with too much nepotism too much corruption now theyre quiet now but they were hurt. You are throwing stones there were quite aggressive theres a very strong presence of police here and for the most part we understand the same as the going on in tripoli these people are very happy and happy about the way things are going. People are so there has to be named to these demonstrations they have to have a parliament they have to have a quota and they have to start getting. Dire situation all right attorney berkeley reporting from beirut tony thank you lets take this on with john hartson hes a writer and journalist whos joining us as well from beirut so his sanity. Us and thanks for being with us 1st of all hes saying that hes going to seek to form a government in 4 to 6 weeks maximum how challenging is this period going to be well i think the biggest challenge is in the 1st couple of days now. Were seeing someone rest on the streets. If you where there is this storm for the next couple of days in the streets condo and it seems i mean thats. Thats the direction that the politicians want it to go including how do you who are supporters are right now on the streets so after that it shouldnt be much of a problem i think that Political Parties are cooperating that they want to help. This new face former government very difficult and if no major Political Parties. Blocks him then it shouldnt be that big a problem but some of the Political Parties will certainly werent with him including solder how he only received 69. 00 out of the 128. 00 votes so is another complication already. I mean he mr harry did not nominate mr jet but he said hes willing to cooperate and all the comments that hes made since including after his meeting with the up today were positive and hes been calling on his supporters to leave this street so he has shown some positive signs so he has not said he would be opposed to after all he was the one who rejected his own he didnt want to be nominated and he chose not to nominate anyone because of the Political Parties were willing to go with how do you do it so that he chose not to become Prime Minister so that he seems to be cooperating for now lets see what could happen in the next few days let me ask you about the visit of the u. S. Undersecretary of state david hale hes right now in lebanon hes meeting officials in beirut reports are that he has also met with the outgoing Prime Minister saad howdy what do you think david hale is there to do and what are you hoping to achieve. David hale and every other u. S. Envoy that visits beirut usually all they carry with them are threats and were used to that probably has nothing new here once you know its there and lebanon with sanctions if they give too much power to hezbollah and and what not then thats not really anything new in lebanon i dont think he has any power to enforce his agenda he just tries to pressure his allies to not capitulate to march. And the senate has also said that hes going to be putting together a technocratic government so itll be a new government of quote unquote independents experts is everyone going to back him on that everyone meaning the Political Parties in lebanon is he going to be able to do this after all thats one of the key demands off people who have come out on the streets. Well this seems to be the direction i mean the parties that nominated him which are the majority in parliament nominated him because he fits that bill and because hes going to form such a government. There i mean there is talk of maybe putting a few presented to the floor is within the larger cabinet but that seems to be that the rection theyre going to end at least the majority backs that up and demands that were repeated on the streets for the past 2 months were asking for that so thats exactly whats being delivered and if i mean we dont know yet just got nominated yesterday and. Anything can happen but i think we should wait a few days and see which direction things go but i think there is some positive feeling about this in the general political atmosphere here ok a gem out of us and we thank you for joining us from beirut in syria thousands of civilians and in there are fleeing to the Turkish Border following a dramatic increase in russian led attacks activists are appealing for turkey to open its border to allow for a safe passage 7 people were killed on friday morning while at least 1900 millions were reportedly killed on thursday shelling airstrikes in the province have escalated in recent weeks and there are reports that Government Forces are preparing for a ground offensive to secure the main highway linking the capital damascus with the Northern City of aleppo mohammed the dough is joining us to talk about all of this from istanbul or what are you hearing about the airstrikes on it.

Spurred on by Donald Trumps impeachment the democrats who want to replace him face off. Theres a new World Champion and surfing has more on that in sports. But 1st their rocks top leader has called for early elections as soon as possible grand ayatollahs astonied delivered the message through a spokesman pictured here on friday he said forming a new government is the only way out of the countrys Current Crisis there been more protests against the government after political leaders failed to choose a new Prime Minister mass demonstrations for assad to step down last month. Baghdad and she says this statement isnt coming from just any religious cleric. The highest religious authority the grand ayatollah ali sistani self issued a statement saying that the country must go to early elections in order to avoid chaos and uncertainty that is looming here this is all because the president has not been able to come up with a nominee for a replacement for the Prime Ministers post since he resigned on december the 1st thats because the constitution is not very clear about what needs to happen for the replacement to be nominated there is a constitutional crisis going on right now in this country and thats because the parliament has not been able to come up with a nominee for the position of the Prime Minister any names that have been floated around over the past 1516 days have all been rejected by the protesters on the streets they say that they want a change to the whole entire electoral system and of course thats not something that is likely to happen overnight and this call by the grand ayatollah only adds an urgency to the matters saying that there really must be a broader solution to try and end this deadlock because as long as this deadlock continues this uncertainty continues so will the security that is looming in iraq at the security situation is just getting worse by day day by day and they said the authorities believe that in order to bring the country together early elections could be a possible way out the japanese Prime Minister shinzo abbay has called on irans president to stick to the International Nuclear deal in an effort to east tensions between to iran washington made the comments while meeting Hassan Rowhani in tokyo the United States unilaterally withdraw rigged drew from the nuclear deal last year and reimposed sanctions against iran as a Counter Measure iran has steadily been walking away from the commitments it means under the agreement. Turkey says it cannot remain silent against what it describes as russian backed mercenaries which support the forces of warlords in the bia president tell you a. Bunch of comments come a day after the tripoli based government agreed to closer military cooperation with Turkey Russia press concerns about turkey sending troops to libya meanwhile forces loyal to the tripoli governments have launched an offensive targeting forces loyal to have to near the capital so heres how the geopolitics surrounding libyas 2 competing governments looks on the map the u. N. As we mentioned recognizes the government of National Accord which is in tripoli the g. N. A. S. Supported by turkey and many western powers including italy over in the east there is the its a group based government its the center of power for warlords Khalifa Haftar and his step selfstyled Libyan National army and hes backed by saudi arabia egypt and the United Arab Emirates fronts is also accuse the providing military support and russian mercenaries are fighting alongside troops. Joining us from tripoli so its a quite a complex situation on the ground mahmoud but what is the latest development that youre hearing surrounding tripoli and its outskirts. Well do. The situation remains very tense fighting continues with heavy weapons this morning as the Government Forces targeted have to forces locations in and around the mork military camp which is close to the neighborhood and southern tripoli civilians we spoke with say that they have been hearing heavy sounds of explosions that in their areas are also Government Military sources they say that they have opened your front lines today near the city of that who are now which is around 65 kilometers to the southern east from the capital tripoli the city of horner is the main stronghold for have to his forces and it has the Central Command from which is general generals are running the battles in southern tripoli. Now have the us forces have been increasing the airstrikes recently especially following. Decision by the d. N. A. Of the government of National Accord to activate the military corp agreement with turkey rates and on that note and with the activation of that military agreement how does this change things on the ground militarily if it does that of mahmoud im going to our hands are you still with us all right apologies we seem to have lost our connection with one but we will move on mahmoud are the ahead i can hear you doing yes we lost you for a 2nd but you were talking about that that military cooperation that has now been activated between turkey and the and the government of National Accord so how does that change things on the ground if it does at all. Well it is expected to make a change of the ground if it is implemented because it remembered it entails military corp air navy and ground military corp so the government says that its cannot stay silent white house those forces are recruiting good russian mysteries and other mercenaries from african countries like sudan and chad meanwhile this military Cooperation Agreement also is sending vented weapons including air defense. Systems remember that the government to military commanders say that the. Fighter jets have been targeting their locations in or around tripoli during the past 8 months and without that have to have those forces cannot make any progress on the ground thats according to the governments military sources so if the agreement is implemented it will most a probably make a change on the ground in favor of the govern
